Species and keyword Search

Search for patents that declare at least one sequence in their sequence listings section as derived from a specific species. As many disclosed sequences are unknown or unspecified, we recommend that you use keywords to perform full text searches within the corpus of more than 440,000 biological patents or combine species with keyword searches. Link to a species genome explorer via “View Explorer” shortcut.

PatSeq Explorer

Navigate sequence listing entries from granted and published patents as mapped with various similarity and coverage thresholds onto a specific genome. At present, we have explorers for the human, the mouse, the maize, the rice, and the soybean genomes. View the mapped and integrated patent and sequence data at the genome or chromosome level and download any sequence you are interested in. Sequence data can be downloaded by academic or non-profit organisations under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. For any other use, please contact osmat.jefferson@lens.org. Please cite Jefferson, O.A., Deniz Köllhofer, Prabha Ajjikuttira & Richard A Jefferson (2015) Public disclosure of biological sequences in global patent practice (under review) for any use in your published and unpublished works.

Zoom in to link to the patent collection in the Lens or to analyze the integrated information at the genome region or locus level in PatSeq Analyzer. The embedded Analyzer version allows you to navigate, compare patenting activity surrounding a particular gene region and even download the sequence under the same terms indicated above.

In the human genome, additional links to the OMIM database is available at the chromosome level and search option for such associated diseases and traits is also available in the search panel.

The Lens is a joint initiative of Cambia and Queensland University of Technology.
